Good Morning!!!! 46F @ 4:45AM. A mix of clouds and sun during the morning will give way to cloudy skies this afternoon. High 56F. Winds SE at 10 to 15 mph. Rain overnight, with accumulation up to a half inch.
Randy, your wife's gifts are priceless to those who will receive them. She sets a beautiful example for us all.
Thanks for the tip on the dryer vent cleaning kit, Ron. I need to do something about the one here, as I've been here seven years and it's never been cleaned. The amazon reviews of the thing breaking off in the vent line are scary though, so I hope it works out OK for you. Maybe I'll do like one guy did and hook up his leaf blower to the line. "Watch this, hold my beer...":laughing:
Amazing that Costco and other stores can sell those rotisserie chickens for only five bux, isn't it Farmer? At least the surplus of propane these days seems like it's gonna last a long time...
Horrible timing for that train derailment. Peak of rush hour in a major city. It will be interesting to learn what comes out of the investigation. Supposedly the rail line had been only recently refurbished to take the higher speeds of the commuter train, but apparently there was a mistake made somewhere along the line...
Thanks for sharing the Christmas tree photos guys. No tree here; I'm allergic to them, and don't have the patience to fool with a plastic one.
Buckeye, hope you're feeling better!
The bear complaints have tapered off from neighbors up the canyon, so maybe they've all taken to their winter dens. Hard to imagine with it being so warm still, but for a while there were sightings every day, most with the bears getting into trash or even sniffing around windows and doors of houses. Nothing worse than a hungry bear in your own yard!
Thought I had the transmission for the old bike buttoned up yesterday. It goes through the gears just fine, but the neutral switch inside isn't working. Reached out to the online community for help, and am hoping it's a simple fix...
Also learned of a new parts supplier in Germany that came highly rated. I've been putting off the purchase of several rather expensive nice-to-have parts, and find them available there for about half what they cost here. And they have a flat 40 Euro shipping fee, so I'll keep adding things to my list and make one big purchase.
